How to Download Pokemon Quest on the Nintendo Switch

In order to download the newly announced title on the Nintendo Switch, players will need to boot up their console and head to the console's eShop. You can find the eShop by clicking on the shopping bag icon on the homescreen of the Nintendo Switch. Aspiring trainers will then need to head to the search bar in the left-hand pane and type in Pokemon Quest. There have been reports that some players are having trouble finding the game by searching for the entire title. If you are having this problem as well, search for "quest" instead and the game should be found in the results. 

Once you have found the game in the search results, press A or tap on the title's icon. From here players will need to focus on the right-hand pane and choose the option to download the title. After this, the game will begin to download on the Nintendo Switch's homescreen. The download consists of 221 megabytes, so make sure you have some storage space available before beginning your download. The game should not take long to install, and players will then be able to experience the new adventure that awaits them in the game's world of Tumblecube Island.

There was plenty of other news happening with the popular franchise today, as the game's Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee were also announced along with Pokemon Quest on the Nintendo Switch.
